Mr. Amit Khanna, the Chairman of Reliance Big Entertainment said, "We are privileged to have been associated with '3 idiots' and its immensely talented team led by Vinod, Aamir and Raju. The ramp-up to Rs. 100 crore in 4 days is phenomenal and we are confident that the film will continue to blaze new records in the weeks to come".

Vidhu Vinod Chopra added, "Response has been overwhelming from all over the world. Aamir, Raju and I knew from the responses earlier on that people liked the film but this is something else? We have got reports from places like Australia that they have reduced ‘Avatar’ shows and increased ours".

Mr. Chopra said, "'3 Idiots' is the highest grossing Hindi film ever in Australia on its opening weekend. Similarly in the US, I have been given to understand that ‘3 Idiots’ would be highest ever for a Hindi film".

Reportedly, the paid preview of the movie has garnered over Rs.9 crore worldwide. A source revealed that the film's budget was Rs.80-100 crore.
